HNF had a Sojus for display some weeks ago (The same Fujitsu
Siemens had at CBit Hannover). Quite interesting, especialy
since these are reused (AFAIK), unlike US stuff (except the
Shuttle of course). FSC did display the capsule since a Siemens
Computer was used on the last flight of this spaceship...
